Love the format with the voiceover. NOt having it, and only music, or nothing, leaves us guessing at times to what is going on or your thought process.
The voice over made this video so much more engaging than the previous one. Text is good for telling viewers what product /colour paint you are using and the ratio a but voice narration works so much better overall.
@@craigstanley2848 thanks mate, glad you like it. This video is a bit older now, and thanks to the positive feedback, I used the same voice over on every new video since then ;)
@@GeneralPelleScaleModels Yes mate, I figured as much! 🙂I only came across your channel last night and thought you might like the feedback anyway. Keep up the sterling work!
@@craigstanley2848 oh sure, sure. Every feedback is always very welcome. I’m just a small UA-camr compared to others, so I’m always happy to see comments on my channel. And I try to answer all of them as long as it’s not overwhelming (but it’s just a few comments now and then, so no big deal). Glad you found my channel :)
Hello, first time I watched one of your video and I immediately subscribed to the channel. The overall quality is excellent. The tone of the voice over is captivating and very pleasant and easy to understand by non native speaker like me. Thank you very much and please keep up doing such a good work.
Hi, welcome on board and thanks for subscribing. I’m really glad you like my last video. But please keep in mind that my older videos have a different style. That said, the upcoming videos will be definitely in the new style.
The voice over explanation is much better and you learn more than just watching a video with no description. It's especially more significant if you are new to the model making hobby and are still learning, so you don't know what a specific tool is called, or know exactly what you are watching in the video, so the verbal explanation helps so much. It would further help to find a list of products and tools used either on screen when your using them, or in the written description afterwards.
Thank you very much for your feedback and I’m really glad you like it. I’ll definitely considering adding the list of the tools I used in one way or another in future videos.
I'm watching this again many times out, as this is the step procedures for any military equipment that bathes " in the drink", of salty water all gray tones and shadows and high lights in color weathered salt water effects, but splendid but still can be rendered this way to othe vehicles as examples also including Amtracs, patrol boats, LST's and of course submarines swimming in salt infused water, enjoyed much with the professional production even the relaxing classic instrumental musical melodies 💯 master modelling series! 😊
That was really amazing ! I thoroughly enjoyed the video and the voiceover was perfect I like to hear what you are saying as you are doing it while watching . Your voice is pleasant as well ! The video was Very informative you are an excellent modeler ! Thank you
Love the video and the work done ! I have an old model of U-boat mounted, but was afraid to paint it for years ! Without aiming at the same result, I might try something... at least with some gray ;))
Wow just wow, beautiful model, superb narration, really informative and excellent music choice, I've just started a 1/72 gato class and this video has give n me more information than the last 20 i have watched put together, please keep the format for the rest of your video's. SUBSCRIBED 👍
Thank you very much and welcome on board. I did indeed kept the format for the next two released videos so far, but please keep in mind that UA-cam might show you some older videos now that doesn’t have it. Please don’t be disappointed :) And happy building with the gato class. That’s a huge beast in 1/72!
Thank you very much. I hoped it would turn out great, sure, not finished yet. And I also would hope it’s here as warm as in Australia 😂 Greetings back to you my friend.
Incredible and realistic weathering…I really admire your patience and attention to detail. The narration is great and This has got a bit of an ASMR vibe going on. Excellent work. 😊
Funny thing is, I actually started making videos in full ASMR style, but I stopped because of to much background noise ruining the effect. So it’s kind of funny that it still has these vibes, but honestly unintended. Thanks also a lot for the compliments. I’m glad you like it.
A very well presented video and I thought the narration was excellent. The detailed explanation of process along with the materials used I thought was really good. In my opinion you should be congratulated and I look forward very much to the next instalment in the series.

Best and clearest submarine tutorial I have seen ! 👍🏻Are you going to make a seadiorama of this ? I plan to buy this kit as well and make a diorama of it.
Thanks :) Yes, the next episode will be mainly the sea diorama. It’s quite a unique kit, but have it’s weaknesses (at least the one I got). Nevertheless, a fun build. Happy building.
@@rustyneedles3743 thanks. No, these are enamel paints. They are already prethinned, which makes them great for applying streaks. The oilpaints are more thicker, so more color pigments are left on the surface.
Brilliant video and narration, on an intriguing model. I'd never seen that handle-bending tool - I ordered one. While you were applying the pin-wash around the rivets (26.10 in) you used a tool that looked like an old fashioned ink pen tip. What is it? Where did you purchase it? Thanks
@@rrl4245 Thank you very much for your kind comment. It’s a DSPIAE AT-PL Aluminum Panel Line Scribing Pen. I probably bought it of from Ali, when Dspiae wasn’t a well known company yet. Now days you can find there tools also in western hobby stores like super-hobby.
Hello, great presentation, everything explained thoroughly and calmly, including preparations. revelation. I have a question about the effects you create with oil paints. Can this effect also be achieved with acrylic paints, e.g. Vallejo MC? Greetings from Poland
Hi, first of all thank you for your kind words. Yes, these effects can also be archived with acrylic. Also it’s more challenging and the results may differ. Oil paints dry very slowly, around one day of drying time. This enables the modeler to work carefully and build up the effects I shown in this video. Acrylic paints on the other side dry (to the touch) in minutes and then they can’t be manipulated anymore. This means you’ve to be much more quicker and can only work in small areas part by part. Also you’ll need a different varnish, e.g. an lacquer based varnish otherwise you’ll risk to lift the underlining paint (if it’s acrylic too). With Model Color from Vallejo I would suggest a good amount of glaze medium (makes it more transparent) and airbrush thinner. Also you should invest in a retarder, this gives you a few minutes more working time. The technique is more or less the same then, but you’ll have to work with a different thinner solution, again airbrush thinner from Vallejo isn’t bad for that job. Model color is pretty thick color, so just use a little bit and a lot of thinner / glaze. And I would suggest trying it first on some spare parts before using this method on the real subject. So you can practice a bit and get a hang of how to do it with acrylics. It’s doable, but to be honest it’s much more challenging. This why modelers usually prefer to use oil or enamel paints for that kind of job. It just gives you much more working time and it’s fully removable when something goes wrong. Oil paints are also not really expensive, super-hobby (big hobby online shop based in Poland) have a great collection of it in stock. Give it a try ;)
Good afternoon. The first thing is to congratulate you for this excellent work, as soon as I saw it I subscribed to your channel waiting to see the next parts. I wanted to ask you a question, at minute 25:51 of this video (in the first part you use it at minute 26:40), when you are doing the preshading with Ammo's Plw dark gray, I find the way of applying it curious, What type of applicator is that? It looks like a fountain pen, and I would like to know because you apply the color very easily. Once again, I congratulate you on your work and I'm looking forward to seeing the next parts and tell me something about that device to apply the preshading. All the best .
Hey, thank you very much for your feedback and thanks for subscribing. The last few weeks was really some successful time for my channel and I’m really glad you all like my work. Indeed, the panel line pen is actually the best one I had. It holds the colors very well and it does a great job at releasing it. The manufacturer is dspiae, you can find it by searching for panel line pen in combination with dspiae (they have also other great tools, but they are a bit pricey…)
Thank you. The soundtrack is a composition of various (mostly unknown) musicians, which i obtained a license for this video. If you are more specific which track you like, I can tell you what the track is called and who the artist is.
I have just found this channel and find it fascinating! I am a bit puzzled as to why the matter of size of model and overall size of diorama where not better thought out so save having to cut lumps out of what I imagine was a very expensive model! Would a slightly smaller scale model that fit without cutting have been better? RE Voice over, I agree they are better than sub titles WITH ONE PROVISO, It must be a human voice not an AI talking! I often find the mispronunciations very off putting!! Thank you, As McArthur said "I SHALL RETURN"
Hi @notwocdivad, Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your thoughts! I truly appreciate your suggestion regarding the model size and diorama - that’s a great point. Choosing the right scale can indeed make a big difference, and I’ll definitely keep that in mind for future projects. As for the voiceover, I completely agree that a human voice brings a more natural feel to the narration. Unfortunately, my own voice isn’t quite suited for voiceovers, which is why I’ve been using AI-generated narration. However, I’m working on improving it and will definitely try to make it more natural and enjoyable for future videos. I’ll also be mindful of pronunciation to ensure the best possible experience for viewers like yourself. I’m glad you enjoyed the video, and as MacArthur said - “I SHALL RETURN” with more content soon! Thanks again, and have a great day! Best regards, GeneralPelle
Parabéns, trabalho maravilhoso, muito talento e dedicação. Acompanho daqui do Brasil toda a sequência dessa arte maravilhosa. Gostaria de saber como conseguir um kit nessa escala ? Aqui no Brasil, só conseguimos nas escalas 1/350 , 1/700, 1/144 ( a mais comum ) , 1/72. Desde já agradeço a atenção. Grande abraço daqui do Brasil.
@@sergioalvarez7908 Olá! Muito obrigado pelo comentário gentil! Fico feliz que esteja acompanhando o trabalho. Infelizmente, não consegui encontrar esse modelo específico em lojas no Brasil, então talvez seja necessário encomendar do exterior, como no eBay, HobbyLink Japan ou AliExpress. Espero que isso ajude. Grande abraço!
@davidebianco3857 thanks mate. Meanwhile you can also check the very first video on my channel. It’s also a ocean diorama build with quite similar techniques (that said, I learned a lot doing videos and building models, so the video itself isn’t from the same quality, but the technique I used is similar).
There isn’t many interior to begin with. It’s pretty barebone and requires a lot of filling and scratch building. And it’s basically invisible. Anyway, I would build it too, if it wasn’t for UA-cam. Which requires to publishing new videos in a given timeframe. That’s why opted to skip this part, sorry.
Right? They just don’t look in proper scale. I thought about scratch building them, but the round shape is unfortunately above my small scratch building skills (maybe in the future….)
Viel zu wenig subs für das Talent was hier gezeigt wird. Vielleicht einzelne Tutorial Videos machen für weathering, panel lines etc. damit andere etwas von deinem Talent haben✈️
Dankeschön :) Es werden langsam aber sicher mehr. Da sprichst du ein interessantes Thema an, der UA-cam Algorithmus mag ansich eher viele kleine Videos anstatt alle paar Monate ein langes Video. Danke auch für den Tipp, das werde ich mir sicher mal durch den Kopf gehen lassen. Leider bin ich aktuell mit Arbeit und der Familie beschäftigt, dass ich kaum dazu komme etwas für den Channel zu machen. Wenn ich wieder etwas mehr Zeit habe, könnte ich mir sowas auf jedenfalls vorstellen ;)
@@GeneralPelleScaleModelsjaja kurze Videos brauchen eben nicht lange und die kann man auch besser vorfilmen falls man, wenn man jede Woche ein kurzes Video hochlädt, bei familienfeiern, Arbeit etc. immer ein Video in Ärmel hat.
That, boys and girls, is why you don't pull a hobby knife towards your hands 2:36, you avoid boo-boo's to your hands. Overall a good model build, but most people that invest so much time in building a scale model to detail, don't take "artistic license" by alternating aspects of the model like you did with the coloring of the decking, making it appear more "wood-like".
Well, that accident happen while I was cooking a gorgeous meal for my wife. But, yes, don’t pull a hobby knife or any knife towards your hands. It’s never a good idea. The deck was a mistake I admit, mistakes happen. Getting an artistic licenses for it was a cheap excuse, but I had to mention something, so people who also build it, and might follow me, don’t do the same mistake.
Never is such a strong word. They probably didn’t use it while submerged, but there are enough pictures with horseshoe buoy on the conning towers. www.pinterest.de/pin/2111131062534190/ And yes, there are enough pictures without it. To verify if and how they used it, we would need to ask every captain of every German wwii sub. Which is obviously impossible. And far to much work for a scaler modeler ;) thus, can we call it artistic interpretation (and since border models put it there, kind of it is)
How'd you get David Attenborough to narrate? 😂 The voice over made it entertaining, but seriously, it's good to describe the processes used, but not talk the whole time!
While I admire the obvious talent you have for building, I wouldn't have finished the video had it not been for the narration. I often use the videos to give me background noise, while still being able to learn things. Had it been captioned only, I wouldn't have had the information, and would have found another video to watch/listen to while I went about my business. And for heaven's sake do not add that annoying bell sound that some youtubers use when soliciting subscription and notification, it's jarring and I will stop viewing if I hear it too often.
Thank you very much for your feedback. It’s always super interesting and helpful to me to hear how people are watching (or hearing) these kind of videos. I for example skip more or less through them, if I watch others build videos. The way you look them is totally different and I’m really glad you enjoyed that episode (but, unfortunately, you won’t have so much fun with my older videos, sorry). I never use any sound effects, I don’t think they really match these kind of videos. And I skipped asking for subscribers in my videos mostly (well, one time in a 40 minutes long video), or do it mostly visually where it isn’t disturbing. Again, thanks for you feedback and I hope you also will enjoy my future videos (which will surely contain a narration again).
If you were going for a non commissioned U-boat look. We're the U-boat has been in dry dock for around 10 or more years with nothing being done to it. You hit your project correctly. But if this is an active U-boet. It would not look like that. The condition of the U-boat was very important to the crew. That was their home in the middle of the ocean. A U-boat crew would not have allowed their sub to get into such a rough state. They would not allow any rust on their boat. Even a minor amount of rust could have been missed and with the salt water. It would have grown and caused a problem for them at sea. Before you start weathering something you need to do a little more research about your item. You do great work but like I said a U-boat would not be in such bad shape if it was active. By no means am I criticizing your work. You do excellent work. I just thought you might appreciate knowing a little bit of history on the U-boat.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment and the interesting historical insights you shared about U-boats. I truly appreciate the depth of your knowledge and your willingness to engage in a constructive conversation about model building. As a model builder, my approach often involves a mix of historical accuracy and artistic freedom. While I strive to maintain certain realistic elements, I also enjoy the creative aspect that allows for interpretation and personal expression. This is similar to how artists like Picasso or Van Gogh approached their art. They often diverged from strict realism to convey deeper emotions or abstract ideas, which didn't necessarily diminish the artistic value of their work; rather, it added a unique voice and style that we now celebrate in art history. In model building, like in painting, realism can be a goal or a starting point, but the journey can also take us into realms of what could be, rather than just what was. This creative liberty is what keeps the hobby vibrant and endlessly fascinating, offering both builders and viewers new ways to envision and understand history. Your point about maintaining historical integrity in models meant to represent active service is well taken and provides a wonderful reminder about the diversity of approaches within our community. It's discussions like these that enrich our hobby, allowing each of us to learn from one another and expand our perspectives. Thank you again for your comment. I look forward to more such enriching exchanges and hope to continue sharing our passion for both history and model building!
You are absolutely incorrect! There are a number of historical photos showing active service u-boats with weathering from heavy use. They are literally submerged in the one of the most corrosive environments known to man. Think about how U-Boats were operated post patrol aircraft and radar coming of age. They were extremely limited on surface time, time better spent elsewhere than painting the hull.

I wanted to ask you a question, at minute 25:51 of this video (in the first part you use it at minute 26:40), when you are doing the preshading with Ammo's Plw dark gray, I find the way of applying it curious, What type of applicator is that? It looks like a fountain pen, and I would like to know because you apply the color very easily.
Once again, I congratulate you on your work and I'm looking forward to seeing the next parts and tell me something about that device to apply the preshading.
All the best .
Hey, thank you very much for your feedback and thanks for subscribing. The last few weeks was really some successful time for my channel and I’m really glad you all like my work.
Indeed, the panel line pen is actually the best one I had. It holds the colors very well and it does a great job at releasing it. The manufacturer is dspiae, you can find it by searching for panel line pen in combination with dspiae (they have also other great tools, but they are a bit pricey…)
Any more videos yet? Following your build!
I finished the project, the next video will be released in a few days.
Amazing job dude! 👏🏻👏🏻
What is the soundtrack?
Thank you. The soundtrack is a composition of various (mostly unknown) musicians, which i obtained a license for this video. If you are more specific which track you like, I can tell you what the track is called and who the artist is.
I have just found this channel and find it fascinating! I am a bit puzzled as to why the matter of size of model and overall size of diorama where not better thought out so save having to cut lumps out of what I imagine was a very expensive model! Would a slightly smaller scale model that fit without cutting have been better? RE Voice over, I agree they are better than sub titles WITH ONE PROVISO, It must be a human voice not an AI talking! I often find the mispronunciations very off putting!! Thank you, As McArthur said "I SHALL RETURN"
Hi @notwocdivad,
Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your thoughts! I truly appreciate your suggestion regarding the model size and diorama - that’s a great point. Choosing the right scale can indeed make a big difference, and I’ll definitely keep that in mind for future projects.
As for the voiceover, I completely agree that a human voice brings a more natural feel to the narration. Unfortunately, my own voice isn’t quite suited for voiceovers, which is why I’ve been using AI-generated narration. However, I’m working on improving it and will definitely try to make it more natural and enjoyable for future videos. I’ll also be mindful of pronunciation to ensure the best possible experience for viewers like yourself.
I’m glad you enjoyed the video, and as MacArthur said - “I SHALL RETURN” with more content soon!
Thanks again, and have a great day!
Best regards,
GeneralPelle
What was the grey you used for the upper Hull after the preshading and chipping fluid?
light compass ghost gray from ammo mig.
@@GeneralPelleScaleModels Thank you 👍
@@stevejones6346 You're welcome :)
Parabéns, trabalho maravilhoso, muito talento e dedicação.
Acompanho daqui do Brasil toda a sequência dessa arte maravilhosa.
Gostaria de saber como conseguir um kit nessa escala ? Aqui no Brasil, só conseguimos nas escalas 1/350 , 1/700, 1/144 ( a mais comum ) , 1/72.
Desde já agradeço a atenção.
Grande abraço daqui do Brasil.
@@sergioalvarez7908 Olá! Muito obrigado pelo comentário gentil! Fico feliz que esteja acompanhando o trabalho. Infelizmente, não consegui encontrar esse modelo específico em lojas no Brasil, então talvez seja necessário encomendar do exterior, como no eBay, HobbyLink Japan ou AliExpress. Espero que isso ajude. Grande abraço!
Yes please the voice! Thank 👏
Sure :) I’ve also used it in newer videos ;)
Четкая и очень хорошая работа
Спасибо за комплимент, рад, что вам понравилось.
When it comes to handles, I use staples; they run from 4.8mm wide to 35mm crown width, and they're already the shape that I want, and they're cheap.
Thats really a great idea. Thanks for sharing.
when is the diorama?
I already began it, but it isn’t finished yet. I won’t be able to build in February. So I would say, probably March / April this year.
@@GeneralPelleScaleModels 😊
I'm waiting with trepidation, I'm very curious, you'll definitely do an excellent job
@davidebianco3857 thanks mate. Meanwhile you can also check the very first video on my channel. It’s also a ocean diorama build with quite similar techniques (that said, I learned a lot doing videos and building models, so the video itself isn’t from the same quality, but the technique I used is similar).
Это нужно делать под слипкнот и верить в героизм и отвагу
Why didn't you complete the interior of the UBoat
There isn’t many interior to begin with. It’s pretty barebone and requires a lot of filling and scratch building. And it’s basically invisible. Anyway, I would build it too, if it wasn’t for UA-cam. Which requires to publishing new videos in a given timeframe. That’s why opted to skip this part, sorry.
Tour de force of painting and weathering. Superior model making.
Bill
Hehe, thanks Bill.
Why they gave you PE for the hatch wheels really teed me off. Just mold them.
Right? They just don’t look in proper scale. I thought about scratch building them, but the round shape is unfortunately above my small scratch building skills (maybe in the future….)
Viel zu wenig subs für das Talent was hier gezeigt wird. Vielleicht einzelne Tutorial Videos machen für weathering, panel lines etc. damit andere etwas von deinem Talent haben✈️
Dankeschön :) Es werden langsam aber sicher mehr. Da sprichst du ein interessantes Thema an, der UA-cam Algorithmus mag ansich eher viele kleine Videos anstatt alle paar Monate ein langes Video. Danke auch für den Tipp, das werde ich mir sicher mal durch den Kopf gehen lassen. Leider bin ich aktuell mit Arbeit und der Familie beschäftigt, dass ich kaum dazu komme etwas für den Channel zu machen. Wenn ich wieder etwas mehr Zeit habe, könnte ich mir sowas auf jedenfalls vorstellen ;)
@@GeneralPelleScaleModelsjaja kurze Videos brauchen eben nicht lange und die kann man auch besser vorfilmen falls man, wenn man jede Woche ein kurzes Video hochlädt, bei familienfeiern, Arbeit etc. immer ein Video in Ärmel hat.
Das Boot!
So sieht’s aus :)
That, boys and girls, is why you don't pull a hobby knife towards your hands 2:36, you avoid boo-boo's to your hands. Overall a good model build, but most people that invest so much time in building a scale model to detail, don't take "artistic license" by alternating aspects of the model like you did with the coloring of the decking, making it appear more "wood-like".
Well, that accident happen while I was cooking a gorgeous meal for my wife. But, yes, don’t pull a hobby knife or any knife towards your hands. It’s never a good idea. The deck was a mistake I admit, mistakes happen. Getting an artistic licenses for it was a cheap excuse, but I had to mention something, so people who also build it, and might follow me, don’t do the same mistake.
There will NEVER be a horseshoe buoy on the conning tower
Never is such a strong word. They probably didn’t use it while submerged, but there are enough pictures with horseshoe buoy on the conning towers. www.pinterest.de/pin/2111131062534190/
And yes, there are enough pictures without it. To verify if and how they used it, we would need to ask every captain of every German wwii sub. Which is obviously impossible. And far to much work for a scaler modeler ;) thus, can we call it artistic interpretation (and since border models put it there, kind of it is)
How'd you get David Attenborough to narrate? 😂 The voice over made it entertaining, but seriously, it's good to describe the processes used, but not talk the whole time!
@@ladyknieval hehe, I’ll try to reduce it ;)
Its beter how you expleyn how to doo
Thanks for your feedback:)
Love the teaching style but the computer voice grates a little.
Sorry about that, but believe me, it’s still better then my real voice ;)
While I admire the obvious talent you have for building, I wouldn't have finished the video had it not been for the narration. I often use the videos to give me background noise, while still being able to learn things. Had it been captioned only, I wouldn't have had the information, and would have found another video to watch/listen to while I went about my business. And for heaven's sake do not add that annoying bell sound that some youtubers use when soliciting subscription and notification, it's jarring and I will stop viewing if I hear it too often.
Thank you very much for your feedback. It’s always super interesting and helpful to me to hear how people are watching (or hearing) these kind of videos. I for example skip more or less through them, if I watch others build videos. The way you look them is totally different and I’m really glad you enjoyed that episode (but, unfortunately, you won’t have so much fun with my older videos, sorry). I never use any sound effects, I don’t think they really match these kind of videos. And I skipped asking for subscribers in my videos mostly (well, one time in a 40 minutes long video), or do it mostly visually where it isn’t disturbing. Again, thanks for you feedback and I hope you also will enjoy my future videos (which will surely contain a narration again).
Found the "GET OFF MY LAWN!!"guy. That ding is a UA-cam thing. It literally lasts a second and you can't handle that? Lol. Mute it then.
Do you apply a gloss clear coat before weathering?
I agree, I love the narration so I don't have to stop watching the brushwork to read captions!
Dude, f-in lower the levels on your intro audio!
Thanks for your feedback. Definitely will look into it. Sorry for the inconveniences.
Do they make the lower part of this U Boat? I would like to buy one but I want the whole U Boat.
This kit doesn’t include the lower part. But you can get the whole u boat in 1/48 from Trumpeter. . Be aware that it’s still very huge.
No I don't want a 1/48 size. I want to go larger with a 1/35th. I guess I will keep waiting till one comes out.
If you were going for a non commissioned U-boat look. We're the U-boat has been in dry dock for around 10 or more years with nothing being done to it. You hit your project correctly. But if this is
an active U-boet. It would not look like that. The condition of the U-boat was very important to the crew. That was their home in the middle of the ocean. A U-boat crew would not have allowed their sub to get into such a rough state. They would not allow any rust on their boat. Even a minor amount of rust could have been missed and with the salt water. It would have grown and caused a problem for them at sea. Before you start weathering something you need to do a little more research about your item. You do great work but like I said a U-boat would not be in such bad shape if it was active. By no means am I criticizing your work. You do excellent work. I just thought you might appreciate knowing a little bit of history on the U-boat.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment and the interesting historical insights you shared about U-boats. I truly appreciate the depth of your knowledge and your willingness to engage in a constructive conversation about model building.
As a model builder, my approach often involves a mix of historical accuracy and artistic freedom. While I strive to maintain certain realistic elements, I also enjoy the creative aspect that allows for interpretation and personal expression. This is similar to how artists like Picasso or Van Gogh approached their art. They often diverged from strict realism to convey deeper emotions or abstract ideas, which didn't necessarily diminish the artistic value of their work; rather, it added a unique voice and style that we now celebrate in art history.
In model building, like in painting, realism can be a goal or a starting point, but the journey can also take us into realms of what could be, rather than just what was. This creative liberty is what keeps the hobby vibrant and endlessly fascinating, offering both builders and viewers new ways to envision and understand history.
Your point about maintaining historical integrity in models meant to represent active service is well taken and provides a wonderful reminder about the diversity of approaches within our community. It's discussions like these that enrich our hobby, allowing each of us to learn from one another and expand our perspectives.
Thank you again for your comment. I look forward to more such enriching exchanges and hope to continue sharing our passion for both history and model building!
You are absolutely incorrect! There are a number of historical photos showing active service u-boats with weathering from heavy use. They are literally submerged in the one of the most corrosive environments known to man. Think about how U-Boats were operated post patrol aircraft and radar coming of age. They were extremely limited on surface time, time better spent elsewhere than painting the hull.
